May was our most active month of 2009 with ten, yes ten, successful Eagle Scout boards of review! As you can see, these young men have each demonstrated well-developed leadership skills that have made meaningful contributions to their units and to the community in which they live. For the year, 20 scouts have now advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout (up from 10 at the end of April) and 31 scouts have received district approval to begin Eagle Scout Leadership Service Projects (up from 26 at the end of April). See attachment for photos of the new Eagles and their projects.

On Tuesday, May 19, District Eagle Board Chair Pam Miller and District Advancement Chair Tim Taylor conducted a Life to Eagle seminar for the scouts and leaders of Troop 352 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. We understand that every Life Scout in the troop was in attendance, with great questions and discussions. Expect big things from these scouts!

If your troop or crew has not scheduled a seminar, we’d like to meet with you!

Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 3, 2009, the night of the Falls District Recognition Dinner. This year, we are recognizing our Eagle Scouts who have earned their Eagle in 2009, including a special recognition for those attending the dinner.

More details when we return from summer break.
